Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Worthies of All Souls: Four Centuries of English History Illustrated From the College Archives There are many reasons for and against exposing to the public the inner history of an institution like the College of All Souls. Those against such an attempt can only be answered by a perusal of the book. Those in its favour may be briefly summed up thus: - In general, every public institution or even private family of importance may probably make some valuable contributions to history. At this moment the Historical Manuscript Commission is pushing its researches into every private library of Great Britain. It is now very generally understood that too much of what has hitherto passed for history will not bear the close investigation of these scientific days, and even the smallest rill from a fresh source may be acceptable. In particular. All Souls cannot but have something to say. The greatest statesman and ecclesiastic of his day was its Founder; successive Primates of All England have been its Visitors. Their voluminous correspondence suggests some fresh material for the Lives of the Archbishops. A King was the co-Founder of the College. It will be seen in the following pages how hard a battle All Souls had to fight in subsequent ages in order to keep the hands of the ´holy Henry´s´ successors - many of them anything but holy - off its revenues. Simple unsuspected facts bring out many a touch of character in these exalted personages. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
